Salma Hayek Helps Launch 'Latinos for Hillary'

/

Actor, influencer and women’s rights activist Salma Hayek stepped up for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race.

“We are one of the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing groups in the United States of America,” Hayek wrote in announcing her support of Hillary. “We deserve a candidate who respects the contributions we have made to this country and understands how important it is that our community continues to thrive, all while treating us con dignidad y respeto.”

Latina reports that Hayek’s email also said:

“We cannot let hate and discrimination determine the outcome of this election,” Hayek said. “We owe it to the hard-working Latinos that came before us, to ourselves and to our children, to show the people who unfairly label us as criminals and speak down to us that our community is strong, meaningful and incredibly powerful.”

Hillary Clinton Sermon 'We All Have Different Gifts' At Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C. On September 13, 2015

/

Good morning. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. And especially for this occasion, a remarkable event that we are celebrating together. I am so glad that Chelsea and I could be part of it. I thank you for that invitation.

I was thinking, as Chelsea was speaking, how unpredictable, even serendipitous it turned out to be that we ended up at Foundry. Some of you may remember it was not too long after the inauguration. It was a Sunday. We were already getting kind of stir-crazy, and so we thought, “Let’s go to church.” Now, this was a long time ago — 1993. There had been a big storm in Washington. The drifting snow was stacked in the streets and on the sides. We had the idea that we would find a Methodist church and walk from the White House. I don’t know who was there that day. Some of you were very, very kind in bringing us in. This was the time before metal detectors and all of the hyper-security that we live with today. We just walked out of the White House followed by some bewildered Secret Service agents and made our way to church. And from that moment until this, we have always felt so welcome.

Chelsea has just described how much Foundry meant to her, and I can only echo that as her mother who saw how embraced she felt here in this congregation. This community — because indeed that’s what it is — was a place where we could worship, study, contemplate, be of service, get some good pastoral advice, and step outside all the commotion of life in the White House and Washington. That was very, very precious to us. Here we were, not “the First Family” — we were just our family. And we relished and cherished that time. We always have felt part of the Foundry family. …

As I was listening to Chelsea and remembering those early weeks and months here in Washington for us, and how thrilled I was that she found so much support here, I of course thought about my own Methodist church growing up in Park Ridge, Illinois, where I had the same kind of experience.

I am a Methodist both by birth and by choice. I was born into a Methodist family — parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, claiming to go all the way back to the coalfields hearing the Wesleys preach. Now, as with so much inherited family lore, I am sure the press will dive on that and try to figure it out. All I can tell you is what my grandparents told me." Read on.

Women For Hillary | Sharon Stone Touts Hillary’s ‘Global Understanding’ In Endorsing Hillary For President AOC Hillary Women

Talking about Hillary Clinton, Sharon Stone says this:

“Hillary is, for me, the best Secretary of State we’ve had since Henry Kissinger, and Kissinger couldn’t run because of his status as a citizen, but Hillary, man or woman, is just such a great person to be President because of her global understanding that she’s garnered being Secretary of State.

“She’s an educated woman who’s been in politics all of her life, and for me to play VP during this prescient moment when women are in so many powerful positions politically and when we’re apt to have a woman as President, it’s a very exciting time in the world to be playing something that is really in that moment, that historical moment.”

Hillary Clinton Turns A New Page In Her Campaign With Thursday 9/10 Chat on Ellen & Promise To Be Funny

When Andrea Mitchell pointed out to Hillary Clinton that she is not perceived as being authentic, Hillary Clinton Resources just sighed. The problem is a common one for women in the public eye. Females are expected to be ‘authentic’ in a way that men are not.

The bar for public female authenticity is much, much higher, maybe insurmountable. In a NYT op-ed titled “Speaking While Female,” Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant wrote about how hard it is for women leaders—in business, or anywhere—to be heard over the white noise of judgmental, sexist filters.

Psychologist Nina Burrowes, author of ‘The Little Book on Authenticity’ reminds us that authenticity is writing your own story. Being under the microscope 24/7 and constantly assessed and analyzed, just how does Hillary do that?

Well aware that perfection is an illusion at any age, Stone declares that today’s nude shoot is actually easier for her to face than the Playboy series. “I’m aware that my ass looks like a bag of flapjacks,” she jokes. “But I’m not trying to be the best-looking broad in the world. At a certain point you start asking yourself, ‘What really is sexy?’ It’s not just the elevation of your boobs. It’s being present and having fun and liking yourself enough to like the person that’s with you. If I believed that sexy was trying to be who I was when I did Basic Instinct, then we’d all be having a hard day today.’”

Breaking news reports say that one of Cecil’s eight cubs has been killed by another male lion. Reports just published in the UK say:

“Lions practice infanticide – the male looking to take over and mate with the three lionesses would have crushed the cub’s skull as he looked to stake his claim.

“The lionesses fended off his advances but it is unlikely they can continue to protect the cubs for much longer.”

“Jericho has now taken over another pride and has been seen with other females,” a source at the park confirmed.

“We don’t know if Jericho would return to help the cubs if they were attacked again

By the Sea Trailer

The first trailer for Angelina Jolie’s new film ‘By the Sea’, written and directed by Jolie who also stars with husband Brad Pitt. The period film is set in 1970s France and focuses on the couple and their unhappy marriage. It will be released on November 13.

The couple previously worked together in ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’. Read more about the film in our February 2015 Angelina Jolie Collects New Most Admired Woman Honor in International Voting — 5 key reasons why we love Angelina Jolie. 

The Guardian wrote about ‘By the Sea’:

After impressing with her first feature in the director’s chair – In the Land of Blood and Honey – Angelina Jolie disappointed with her studio-sized sophomore drama, Unbroken, which reeked of a desperate bid to be taken seriously by awards voters with its schmaltz tone and massive scale. For her third feature, By the Sea, Jolie has gone in the opposite direction to serve up an intimate character study. It seems like the transition has brought out the best in Jolie.

Gisele Bundchen Burqa Disguise Comes As More Burqa Bans Take Effect

/

Gisele’s Burqa Disquise Busted

Did Gisele Bundchen really think she and her sister would remain unknown, scurrying into Paris’ International Clinique du Parc Monceau in open-toed shoes On July 15? Worse yet, the two femmes rode in a car driven by the supermodel’s regular chauffeur.

For real women who must wear burqas or die, open-toed shoes are not permitted.

Gisele reportedly was seeking a nip and tuck on her eyes and her breasts, after having breast-fed two children. The next day her driver picked up the supermodel and sister Rafaela at the Bristol Hotel and drove them to the exclusive Les Sources de Caudalie spa, where the former Victoria’s Secret Angel, who reportedly made $47 million last year as the top model in the world, recovered for five days.

Burqa or not, Gisele was silly to think she could keep her plastic surgery visit under wraps.

On the subject of women wearing burqas, the French are quite sensitive, having banned the burqa on the streets of Paris in 2010.The fact the Gisele pulled the stunt during the month of Ramadan, causing strict Muslims to be offended over her disrespectful act. Her action came at a time when several African countries have instituted new burqa bans, now that the disguise is being used by terrorists.

Then there is the minor matter of Gisele telling her adoring fans that there is “no way” she’d ever have plastic surgery.

Note that there are a few naysayers who insist that the story isn’t true. There have been no denials from the supermodel or members of her staff.

Global Burqa Ban News July 2015

The Dutch debate the burqa — and ban it Politico

The areas covered by the ban — schools, transportation, hospitals and government buildings — are those places where concerns for interpersonal communication and safety are especially critical, said Afshin Ellian, a professor of jurisprudence at the University of Leiden and an expert on multiculturalism, citizenship, and human rights. “People have to be recognizable in such areas,” he said. “And anywhere in a free society, it is crucial that people are able literally to look each other in the face.” In a statement to the press, Plasterk echoed that importance, noting that “in schools you have to be able to look one another in the eyes. If a mother comes to pick her child up at school you need to be able to see if it really is the mother.” (Indeed, in January, 2013, a woman wearing a niqab kidnapped a Muslim child from a local school; the five-year-old girl, who could not see her abductor’s face, thought the kidnapper was her own mother, who also wears a niqab.)

Diane Kruger Is A Natural Bohemian Lensed By Max Abadian For Elle Canada September 2015

/

Diane Kruger was lensed at the famous Beverly Hills home of Tony Duquette, now owned by colleague Hutton Wilkinson and his wife Ruth. Vanity Fair wrote previously about the Dawnridge Estate. Our initial impression of the Diage Kruger images was of Las Pozas in Mexico.

Anne wrote several years ago:

In my dreams, I see Las Pozas … a hotbed of symbolism and myth. If Carversville is a conscious mind, then Las Pozas is Carl Jung talking.

For sensualists, the antidote to Carversville, after working a week in Paris, then flying to Shanghai, is a week in Xilitla and the Surreal Gardens of Las Pozas … born when a flurry of blue butterflies captured the inner vision and imagination of the Scottish eccentric Edward James.

Boys Club | New York Magazine Assembles 35 Bill Cosby Accusers As CA Supreme Court Permits 15-Year-Old Girl Molestation Case To Move Forward

/

In an extraordinary piece of journalism, New York Magazine’s cover story addresses the stories of 35 individual women, ages 20s-80s, who claim that they were sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby.` Six women are also videotaped. This is the first time that all of the Cosby accusers willing to come forward have told their stories individually but in one centralized place.

Justice Dept Redefined Rape in 2012

It’s generally believed that this female gathering never would have happened without social media and a broadening of the definition of rape, as actioned by the Justice Department in 2012. The act of rape — previously considered only as a violent act of one person — a man — forcing himself sexually on another person — a woman — has been redefined and expanded by gender (women can rape men; men rape other men) and by sexual actions beyond vaginal penetration.

In the words of Susan B. Carbon of the Justice Department’s Office on Violence Against Women, the redefinition of rape meant that “it’s rape even if you’re a man. It’s rape even if you are raped with an object and even if you were too drunk to consent.”

Too Drugged And/Or Drunk To Consent?

Although the criminal statute of limitations has expired on most of the alleged sexual assault incidents among the 35 women interviewed by New York Magazine, they are seeking justice in the court of public opinion. Note that some of the women have filed civil cases against Cosby with multiple lawyers representing them.

Cosby’s recent publicized 2005 admission that he procured at least seven prescriptions for quaaludes for the purpose of having sex with other women not his wife. caused four of the 35 women to come forward just last week.

“The group of women Cosby allegedly assaulted functions almost as a longitudinal study — both for how an individual woman, on her own, deals with such trauma over the decades and for how the culture at large has grappled with rape over the same time period,” writes New York Magazine. “In the ’60s, when the first alleged assault by Cosby occurred, rape was considered to be something violent committed by a stranger … But among younger women, and particularly online, there is a strong sense now that speaking up is the only thing to do, that a woman claiming her own victimhood is more powerful than any other weapon in the fight against rape.”

One Cosby accuser whose story isn’t told in the New York Magazine collection is Andrea Constand, the Temple University administrator and former college basketball player in Philadelphia, who reached a settlement with Cosby. It was the deposition in her case that was released last week by the New York Times.

In the past week Spelman College, a historically black women’s college in Atlanta, cut all ties to Cosby. The foundation was established by Cosby’s wife, Camille, in honor of her mother, as the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported; two of the comedian’s daughters attended Spelman.

In Philadelphia, a mural featuring Bill Cosby has been painted over.

Age 15 Molestation Case Moves Forward

As embarrassing as the Spelman decision is, Cosby’s attorneys lost a significant court battle in California last week when the state Supreme Court declined to hear a petition that would have overturned a case of a now 50’s woman who claims that Cosby molested her at age 15.

Charges of molesting young girls takes the Cosby allegations into new and sickening allegations.
